Stake Relief Society Temple Trip

Thanks to all who attended the Stake RS Temple trip. It was a great day and we were pleased to do work for so many of your ancestors. Thanks to all who contributed to the day's success, to our carpool drivers, and the Stake Relief Society Presidency, including our very own Sister Nash!

Branch Website at lds.org

If you are not accessing our branch website, click here to check it out. You can view the branch/stake calendar, access the current branch and stake membership directories, check lesson schedules, and more. You do need your baptism date and membership number (which is on your temple recommend.) If you do not have either of these numbers, see Brother Gentry for help. If you have questions about accessing the site, email or call LeVa.

Nursery help needed

If you are willing to help out in the nursery over the next few weeks (2nd or 3rd hour or both), please email me to let me know. We have been assigned by the branch presidency to help find a sister to help Sister Harshaw in the nursery until the calling is filled on a more permanent basis.

Simmons Benefit 5K Walk-A-Thon

The Simmons family in Chaffee is planning a 5K walk to benefit to help cover the costs associated with their daughter Kylie's illness and care. It is scheduled to begin at the Chaffee Jr/Sr. High school at 9:00 am on Saturday, September 6th. The walk will be led by the Chaffee Cross Country Team. Registration is by donation with a donation of $15 or more also buying you a t-shirt. They are still in the planning stages. If you are interested in participating or helping out in some way, please let me know. if they choose to have a bake sale that day, it is possible that they may be looking for baked good donations for the sale.
